Technical Abstract

One embodiment provides an electronic device, including a first main body; a second main body being moveable relative to the first main body; a first sensing apparatus that obtains a first parameter in response to the second main body moving relative to the first main body to satisfy a first condition; a second sensing apparatus that obtains a second parameter in response to the first or the second main body receiving a second operation satisfying a second condition; and a processing apparatus that provides an instruction in response to one or more of the first condition being satisfied and the second condition being satisfied. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. An electronic device, comprising: a first main body; a second main body being moveable relative to the first main body; a first sensing apparatus that is configured to obtain a first parameter in response to the second main body moving relative to the first main body to satisfy a first condition, wherein the first parameter corresponds to a degree of rotation and wherein the first condition corresponds to a predetermined degree of rotation; a second sensing apparatus that is configured to obtain a second parameter in response to the first or the second main body receiving a second operation satisfying a second condition, wherein the second parameter corresponds to an external force value, wherein the second operation corresponds to an external force, and wherein the second condition corresponds to a predetermined external force value; wherein the second operation is received during a duration of the second main body moving relative to the first main body; and a processing apparatus that is configured to: provide a first instruction to a first device to perform a climate adjustment function responsive to identifying that the first condition is satisfied before the second condition; and provide a second instruction, different from the first instruction, to a second device to perform a media adjustment function responsive to identifying that the second condition is satisfied before the first condition.

2

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising: a rotation mechanism by which the first main body and the second main body are connected such that the second main body is able to rotate relative to the first main body; wherein the first sensing apparatus is configured to obtain the first parameter for characterizing a motion state of the second main body in response to the second main body rotating relative to the first main body; wherein the second sensing apparatus is configured to obtain the second parameter for characterizing a pressed state in response to the second main body receiving a pressing operation.

3

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein: the second sensing apparatus comprises a capacitor that is configured to obtain a capacitance value corresponding to an external force; the processing apparatus is configured to determine that the external force satisfies the second condition; and the processor is configured to determine that the capacitance value satisfies a preset range of the capacitance values to generate the instruction.

4

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the electronic device further comprises: a display apparatus configured to show at least one display content; wherein the processing apparatus is configured to determine a second display content based on a motion direction contained in the first parameter and related to a motion direction of the second main body, such that the display apparatus is configured to show the second display content.

5

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein: the second sensing apparatus comprises at least one sheet structure that can be in a first pressed state or a second, un-pressed state based on an external force; the at least one sheet structure being in the first state in the event that the external force satisfies the second condition; and the processing apparatus being configured to generate the instruction in the event the at least one sheet structure is in the first state.

6

6. A method, comprising: obtaining, with a first sensing apparatus, a first parameter in response to a first main body of a device moving relative to a second main body of the device to satisfy a first condition, wherein the first parameter corresponds to a degree of rotation and wherein the first condition corresponds to a predetermined degree of rotation; obtaining, with a second sensing apparatus, a second parameter in response to the first or the second main body receiving a second operation satisfying a second condition, wherein the second parameter corresponds to an external force value, wherein the second operation corresponds to an external force, and wherein the second condition corresponds to a predetermined external force value; and providing, with a processing apparatus, a first instruction to a first device to perform a climate adjustment function responsive to identifying that the first condition is satisfied before the second condition and providing a second instruction, different from the first instruction, to a second device to perform a media adjustment function responsive to identifying that the second condition is satisfied before the first condition; wherein the second operation is received during a duration of the second main body moving relative to the first main body.

7

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein: the first sensing apparatus obtains the first parameter for characterizing a motion state of the second main body in response to the second main body rotating relative to the first main body; the second sensing apparatus obtains the second parameter for characterizing a pressed state in response to the second main body receiving a pressing operation.

8

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein: the second sensing apparatus comprises a capacitor that obtains a capacitance value corresponding to an external force; the processing apparatus determines that the external force satisfies the second condition; and the processor determines that the capacitance value satisfies a preset range of the capacitance values to generate the instruction.

9

9. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising: showing, on a display apparatus, at least one display content; determining, with the processing apparatus, a second display content based on a motion direction contained in the first parameter and related to a motion direction of the second main body; and thereafter displaying, with the display apparatus, the second display content.

10

10. A control device, comprising: an electronic device, comprising: a first main body; a second main body being moveable relative to the first main body; a first sensing apparatus that is configured to obtain a first parameter in response to the second main body moving relative to the first main body to satisfy a first condition, wherein the first parameter corresponds to a degree of rotation and wherein the first condition corresponds to a predetermined degree of rotation; a second sensing apparatus that is configured to obtain a second parameter in response to the first or the second main body receiving a second operation satisfying a second condition, wherein the second parameter corresponds to an external force value, wherein the second operation corresponds to an external force, and wherein the second condition corresponds to a predetermined external force value; wherein the second operation is received during a duration of the second main body moving relative to the first main body; and a processing apparatus that is configured to: provide a first instruction to a first device to perform a climate adjustment function responsive to identifying that the first condition is satisfied before the second condition; and provide a second instruction, different from the first instruction, to a second device to perform a media adjustment function responsive to identifying that the second condition is satisfied before the first condition.
